No necessity in Hayk Marutyan’s resignation: NA vice-speaker
Vice-speaker of Armenia’s National Assembly Alen Simonyan said he does not see any necessity for the resignation of the Yerevan mayor Hayk Marutyan.
“I do not blame Mr Marutyan for anything, he implemented his functions and remained within his authorities,” he said.
Alen Simonyan stressed that Hayk Marutyan has not violated any law.
“Another issue is the existence of legislative flaw, which today the opposition is trying to speculate,” he said.
Asked whether My Step faction will join Bright Armenia’s initiative to create ad hoc investigative commission, Simonyan said they have not discussed the issue yet.
“We will discuss and see,” he said.
Asked whether he personally will sign it, Simonyan said, “I do not see the sense in doing it.”
